BuilderSystems Thinker

At Amazon I built HAWK, a multi-site operational intelligence platform. I also have a growing interest in AI and automation — exploring how LLMs and intelligent agents can enhance operational systems.

Solving hard distributed systems problems.

Teams tackling infrastructure challenges.

Exploring AI driven automations to make life simpler for myself.

Work Experience

Amazon WW Grocery

Seattle, WASoftware Development Engineer IIOctober 2023 – Present
  • HAWK: Predictive Operations Intelligence — Multi-site operational intelligence platform with subprocess-level bottleneck detection, comparative performance benchmarking, and predictive ETAs.
  • Architected hybrid system (SNS/Lambda, time-series + NoSQL, SageMaker + LLM) achieving sub-200ms latency, reducing MTTR by ~35% and process variance by 40%.
  • Built time-series analytics engine surfacing cyclical patterns; increased manager adoption from 30% to 85% and reduced unplanned overtime by 25%.
  • Grocery Identification Microservice — Owned end-to-end design of near real-time event processing service consuming 10K-100K inventory updates/day.
  • Built scalable queue-based infrastructure with serverless compute and retry logic, enabling 6+ services to consume events with zero code changes.
  • Led 3 engineers through system design reviews, implementation, code reviews, automated testing, deployment, and monitoring.
  • Multi-Region Data Migration — Re-architected inventory datastore from relational to NoSQL (DynamoDB), achieving 10x throughput scalability while reducing infrastructure costs by 10%.
  • Designed and executed zero-downtime migration of 10M+ records with < 5 minutes downtime and comprehensive validation across multiple regions.

Amazon Physical Stores

Seattle, WASDE to SDE IIJuly 2021 – October 2023
  • Cloud & Infrastructure Migration — Migrated high-traffic backend microservice to serverless Lambda + API Gateway architecture, reducing infrastructure costs by 50%.
  • Developed migration scripts for 100+ fulfillment centers worldwide, orchestrating SKU data transfer and enabling full deprecation of legacy warehouse management system.
  • Tool Modernization & Performance — Led migration of 3+ internal tools from AngularJS to React, designing incremental rollout with feature flags for safe, reversible production deployments.
  • Optimized web application performance by 49% (5s to 2.4s) through bundle analysis and dependency optimization, saving ~$68 per user in operational costs.
